DRONE BUILDER 1.0 IS OFFICIALLY LIVE + huge DIYFPV updates
G day. I’m excited to announce the DIYFPV drone builder studio is officially live.
This interactive build studio lets you import your favourite FPV parts and create a virtual build. Looking back at our builder proof of concept vs what we have today fills me with such pride and hope for our hobby. (you can see the old concepts attatched to this post)
Features
- Import your parts into the build studio with 1-1 recreations from the community
-Alerts if there are any shorts or incorrect connections with your build
-Wiring assistant mode so you can see recommended ways to wire something up
-Learn mode - select any pad or pin. Learn its function, how it works and why it is important to your fpv build
-Share it with your friends, get feedback. Updates in real time
We also released a community build feature or as I like to call it the “build builder”. This is for people who want to not only create a wiring schematic of their build but also use it in a build guide. It will auto populate your components from your build, show the wiring schematic of how they go together and prompt you a few bits so making a full build guide is easier than ever.
New feature- the Part library is now available to all users. This is an easy way to inspect a part, check pinouts and mappings. Great for when you want to quickly check some technical aspects of a part you are about to build with. This started as an internal dev tool we were using to check components but it was so useful it is now open to all.
Stack and Multiboard support
The part builder now supports creating parts with multiple boards/stacks. Select add a new board when building your part and then just follow the normal build process. This means that when you import these parts into your drone builds in the studio it will automatically import both boards at once.
Thanks to everyone who submitted parts. Thanks to the mod and dev team who are doing wonders helping make DIYFPV the best it can be and a HUGE thanks to my fellow diyfpv co-founder Toms. @tpetersons The absolutely insane amount of hours and hard work really shows. Thank you.
The thing we need help with now is people continuing to make parts in the part builder or it would be amazing to see some people publishing some build guides for others to learn from. If you have a build you love to fly, please do a write up and build guide for it here on diyfpv.
Remember you are valued, care about and very welcome here at DIYFPV.
Happy flying
Stew

oldguyFPV; rip it, rip it good! #seniorcitizenfpv #relaxedfreestylefpv #nostab #freestylefpv #fpv
Just up the road from “tirefields forever” is a place I call “mosaic”. It’s a large open area with two large fields to fly in. I can also position my takeoff point where I can reach multiple long range areas that are over 1 ½ miles out as well.
The reason I call this place “mosaic” is because the rock formations resemble mosaic tiles and patterns. Check it out! It’s a great place for a roadside rip! Lots of trees, open space, gaps galore. And, we all know, “it’s all about the gap”, right?
Windy today, still fighting spring snow showers combined with rain. One might ask, why I fly in weather like this? The only answer I have is; “Because I gotta”! If you fly FPV, I don’t have to explain to you what that means! Well, anyway, enjoy! Fly safe, fly free! #drone #seniorcitizenfpv #relaxedfreestylefpv #nostab #freestylefpv #dronefpv #quadcopter #longrangefpv #onpack #flieslikea5inch

oldguyFPV; tirefields forever -The older I get, the more I want to f#%king rip! #relaxedfreestylefpv #nostab #freestyle #drone #longrange #onpack
Why do I call this place “tirefields forever”? Well, for some reason, and I don’t know why, a lot of people like rolling their old tires down this hill. There are old tires everywhere, thus the name “tirefields forever”! I put the word “forever” in there, because “tirefields” reminds me of a Beatles song called “Strawberry Fields Forever”. I don’t know why that song comes to mind, but it does. Too much cannabis? Maybe! Don’t fly without it! Anyway, their you have it!
The weather is warmer, snow is melting, wind is blowing, three packs to burn, had to get out of the house and fly a few packs today. This place is wide open, full send mandatory, trees, rocks and meadows. An old rippers dream come true. It’s a great place to practice my “open space relaxed freestyle”. Enjoy! Fly safe, fly free! #drone #seniorcitizenfpv #relaxedfreestylefpv #nostab #freestylefpv #dronefpv #quadcopter #longrangefpv #onpack #flieslikea5inch

oldguyFPV; cinematic open space relaxed freestyle #seniorcitizenfpv #nostab #freestylefpv #onpack
It has been snowing here for the past 3 weeks now, and I still haven’t been able to do any flying. The weather forecast, is 3 more days of snow. Bummer, I like to fly everyday! Lately, I have been getting all of my stick time on the Sim! Not the same as real life, but a man has got to do, what a man has got to do, right? Anyway, I uploaded a video from December, 2024 to share with you while waiting for the weather to change. It’s located at the cite of an old silver mine called the “Bluebird” it’s another open space area I like to fly, it has trees, roads and a lot of gaps. We luv those gaps, don’t we? In fact, “it’s all about the gap”, right? Anyway, it’s a great place to fly and practice my “open space relaxed freestyle”. Enjoy! Fly safe, fly free! #seniorcitizenfpv #relaxedfreestylefpv #nostab #freestylefpv #dronefpv #quadcopter #longrangefpv
Cheers mate.

oldguyFPV; roadside rippin a clump of trees #nostab #freestylefpv #onepack #relaxedfreestyle #fpv
Roadside Rippin! This is another great roadside spot. It's located on what's left of an abandoned silver mine, called the bluebird silver mine. This place has clumps of trees all over the place, wide open spaces, lots of fun gaps. Check it out! Enjoy!! Thanks for watching! #seniorcitizenfpv #relaxedfreestylefpv #nostab #freestylefpv #onpack #oldguyfpv #rawfpv
Fly safe, fly free!

oldguyFPV; chasing trains - roadside rippin!
Roadside Rippin! This is one of my favorite spots. It’s what’s left of an old gold mining claim called “Pay Gold”. I know this to be true, because it's engraved on a big rock where I park my van! There are trees, a stream, lots of rocks and two sets of railroad tracks. And, you know what railroad tracks mean! Sooner or later, a train is going to pass, and when it does, you can bet your bottom buck, I’ll be there to chase it! Why? Because I gotta!!!! Well, today a train came buy while I was strapping on my 4th pack, this is what I captured. Enjoy!! Thanks for watching! #seniorcitizenfpv #relaxedfreestylefpv #nostab #freestylefpv #onpack #oldguyfpv #trainfpv
